Sounds like a more useful exercise than 99% of punditry.

Kevin Heron, you get an F.
Joe was not posited as an expert in any field...
See, Obama citing the US Chamber of Commerce (and they don’t often support Democrats!)

Shoehorning statements into a prefabricated checklist isn't any more analytical than talking head round tables.
John McCain did not appeal to Joseph Wurzelbacher as "an expert" on economic policy, but as an example of an American affected by specific economic policies.
Anne Nester is no Richard Weaver.

Heron wrote "Joe the Plumber" in the box marked, "Appeal to authority: fake expert."Hence what's wrong with our education system. 'Joe the Plumber' was an appeal to emotion, not to authority; but Heron obviously just saw a box to check and so he did.

sProfessor Anne Nester shouted out, "Whoa! Class warfare! Anybody got dysphemism? Yield to fear, anyone?" ...so we're trying to work off that and have students look at this stuff critically," said Peter Bradley, an assistant philosophy professor who created the bingo game with Nester, an adjunct professor.So basically, this school has the lowest level of indoctinators filling the childrens head with crap.
No indication of which candidate is using class warfare, naturally.

Joe the Plumber is not an economic expert in a college sense, but he has more common sense real-world experience than the entire university system, and unlike all liberal elites in our colleges, Joe “gets it!”

Obama's assertion that McCain's ads were 100% negative could be hyperbole? Do you have a box marked "LIE"?
To: steve-b
Others have been doing this type of thing for a long time. For example, in the VP debate ...

Along the same lines, my son’s American Government class watched Debate #2 and analyzed who did and did not answer the questions asked. The end result was (approx) McCain 75% vs. Obama 30%. Even kids in the class who support O admitted he skirted questions and barely gave answers.

Logic was the most helpful class I took in college. It helped me understand my distrust of the popular news media.
